ORCAS: Whales off West Seattle

10:47 AM: Thanks to Kersti Muul for the tip. Orcas are in our area again – northbound in Elliott Bay shipping lanes, at last report. Whether these are transients or southern residents, that’s not known yet. Let us know if you see them!

11:35 AM: Update from Kersti, after she posted in comments that they were southbound – Washington State Ferries’ M/V Kittitas reports it’s seeing “at least two adult females and two juvenile orcas” right in front of the Fauntleroy dock.

     T71Bs and T124Ds  present.  All whales have passed Three Tree Point, continuing southbound after predation event . Now just north of Point Robinson as they have moved from east to west in channel
